Governments and companies are investing substantial resources in renewable energies. They’re all joining the clean energy revolution from individuals to large institutional investors and funds that manage money for sovereign governments. According to Allied Market Research, the global renewable energy market is expected to reach almost $2 trillion by 2030. There is a fundamental shift in powering the world, and renewables are a large part of it. Investors can share these rewards that go far beyond the monetary by partnering with Maiora Renewable Energy Pte Ltd (MRE).

MRE is leading this shift in energy production, helping countries gain energy independence, fighting climate change, and ensuring that local communities reap benefits from the solar projects they develop.

Founded by the partners of Maiora Asset Management, MRE is a renewable energy developer and independent power producer. “We invest our clients’ capital in working on projects and assets that provide strong environmental and social good,” says Marzio Keiling, founding partner, MRE.

The Singapore-based company derives its name from the Latin word maiora, which means “striving for excellence,” but MRE adopts another meaning. “We embody another translation of the word, which is ‘towards greater things, for the greater good’; not just greater things for our investors but for humanity itself,” adds Jason Block, founding partner MRE.

Adept technology, human expertise, and financial acumen have driven MRE’s success. It is involved in both C&I projects where clients reap substantial cost savings on their energy bill in addition to reducing their carbon footprint and utility-scale projects in countries focused on achieving explicit renewable energy goals.

For example, MRE is helping Taiwan in its pursuit of achieving 20% of its power from renewable energy by 2025. Along similar lines, MRE was involved in assisting Japan to achieve its renewable goals, overhauling a bankrupt golf course in Mie prefecture into a 100-megawatt solar project.

MRE also retained many of the ground staff and employees on the golf course who became part of the operations and maintenance team for the solar plant. It created a tax-generating asset for the local community, and the project became one of the largest solar plants in Japan after completion. Local people and the community got maximum value from the plant, and the investors got a strong return. MRE eventually sold that project and others in Japan to a listed REIT, allowing the Japanese public to invest in these projects and receive generous dividend income from those shares.

MRE is continuing to develop renewable projects in Asia with a significant focus on Taiwan. The firm’s goal is to invest in and develop around one and a half gigawatts of solar projects in Taiwan over the next few years. The founding partners are constantly exploring newer avenues to make impactful investments in businesses that would create returns for investors while generating substantial returns for the world. In this regard, they are looking for clients who believe in MRE’s mission and vision and wish to invest in assets that provide solid environmental and social good.
